Royal Enfield started its journey in 1901 but produced the first motorized vehicle in 1998. Some of the popular models of Royal Enfield include Royal Enfield Interceptor, Continental GT, Bullet, Classic, etc.
So far Royal Enfield has sold bikes with 350, 450, and 650 cc engines, but this time the company is eyeing the 750 cc two-wheeler. The 750 cc powertrain is actually a larger 650 cc engine with twin cylinders. Royal Enfield has now started working on this new project and if all goes well, the company will enter the 750cc segment by 2025. The company is said to have developed a new platform for this, codenamed 'R2G'. It may be launched in the market under the name 'Bobber'.
It will produce slightly more horsepower and torque than the 650 cc bikes. The big market for this type of bike is India, North America and Europe. In order not to lose this market, Royal Enfield wants to bring the 750 cc bobber as soon as possible. Apart from the mechanical changes, it remains to be seen if the company makes any changes in terms of styling and design.
It will allow buyers in North America and Europe to upgrade from the 350cc. This new bike project is being led by the company's technology center in Leicester, UK. The R2G is expected to be the largest motorcycle in Royal Enfield's portfolio for decades and the top motorcycle produced.
Now the company is preparing to launch Himalayan 450 cc, and Bullet 350 cc.
